The best, purest film to come out of Hindi cinema in a while, this.
-
...one of those rare films that tugs your heartstrings.

...a small film with a big heart. A remarkable film with a rock-solid script, this heart-warming experience should not be missed at any cost. A cinematic gem!
-
It'll probably be the best film you'll be watching for a long time to come.
-
...a wicked and poignant journey into the heart and soul of a child. At once clever and artless it effortlessly takes cinema about child psychology out of the box. The tiffin box.

Some movies leave you gobsmacked with their sweetness. Others silence you with their spareness. Can a movie do both? Sometimes. Stanley ka Dabba is one of those times.

Amole Gupte's directorial debut is brilliant, his narrative is easy and uncomplicated and the best thing is, he allows the children to be themselves, without forcing an adult's way on them.

...this endearing little experiment pays off handsomely.
-
...has an inherent sweetness and honesty that will stay with you long after the film is over.

...a box full of endearing moments.
-
A delightful yet moving film on the trifle of an idea, but why must a film with children has to always come with a message attached?
-
...there is admiration for the way the kids communicate their generosity as well as their mischief without irritating filmi precocity. Children will probably relate to the film whole-heartedly.
-
The realism gently, warmly sucks you in. You sit back, sometimes reminisce, mostly observe.
